[edit] Specifications
I added a bunch of specs. I found them at the Bombardier web site. I tried to put as many useful figures from that site onto this page as i could.
However, a few of the "standard" specifications were not provided, so i calculated him. THese are the ones in question:
- Rate of climb: 436m/min (1433 ft/min)
- Wing loading: 468.4 kg/m² (95.9 lb/ft²)
- Thrust/weight: 2.95 N/kg (0.301 lbf/lb)
For rate of climb, i used the bombardier figure of 43,000 ft in 30 mins, and just calculated per min.
For wing loading and thrust/weight, i used the maximum weight figure in the calcuation.
Additionally, the thrust/weight is often expressed (on other pages) as kg/N or lb/lbf, which is weight/thrust. I am not sure which way is correct.
If anyone can correct me on this, or have any suggestion, go for it.

[edit] Global Express owner error
Greetings: I would like to alert you to an error on Global Express owners list. You have Oprah Winfrey listed as an owner. I checked the F.A.A. website a while back in the aircfaft registry section and according to their records. Miss Winfrey by way of Harpo Inc. owns a Gulfstream-4. Iv'e included the address to the page below. I would make the change myself but dont feel it is proper, and I would prefer not to as I am not that bold. I hope this helps.

[edit] Proposed page name change
Bombardier calls this range the "Bombardier Global Family" and not all the range have "Express" in their name. I therefore propose renaming this page to "Bombardier Global Family". Any objections? Piquante 19:55, 29 October 2006 (UTC)
